What story from the bible relates to Daedalus and Icarus?

Answer 1

Daedalus and his son, Icarus, were trapped in a bronze tower because the labyrinth that Daedalus designed to keep a Minotaur in had failed (the story of Theseus). So King Minos had him trapped. Daedalus was a brilliant inventor so after a while of thinking he had designed two pairs of wings and was starting to make them. He made the structure from old pieces of wood in the tower and Icarus stole the tail feathers from the pigeons that sat on their windowsill. Then they both attached the feathers on to the wings with wax from the beehive between the rafters. When they were ready they jumped out the window and soared in to the sky. As they were flying Daedalus told Icarus not to fly too close to the sun because it would melt the wax and he would fall, and not to fly too close to the sea because he feather would dampen and he would fall. Sadly Icarus didn't listen and went too close to the sun and the wax melted and he fell and drowned in the sea. Daedalus carried on flying, crying as he went. When he got to land he prayed to Zeus for his sons body to be set in the stars and it was.
